Could a robot or computer do your job?

An AI wrote this script...

Most people's answer would immediately be "No!", but have a think about it.

In fact, the more you think about it, the more you realise how redundant humans are becoming. Maybe not today, but in the near future.

In fact, the only jobs I can think of that can't be replaced are ones that require some kind of free thinking or public interaction.

Haway then, who thinks their job is humans only?

I can't even do my job....!!!

They could do my manager's job. They'd probably f***ing lie less too.

Maybe one day if they create an AI, until then I'll be programming the computers.

A poorly trained monkey could do my job.

They'd keep the set of bairns that I work with happy at the same time anarl.

@muggboots there's hope for you after all!

I don't think he's that well trained tbh.

 

[NewAdventuresInWiFi]

They could do any manager's job.

Indeed.

Delegation is an absolute piece of piss man.

And that's it!!

fair enough! I tried.

There's no way a robot could do my job. Wouldn't get up and down the stairs for a start!

If my colleagues learn how to google I'm fucked.

@Frijj will be in the dole queue alongside you.

A lot of people's perception of what technology can do now, let alone in 10 years time is severely lacking.

There's not many things that have been listed that will not be able to be automated to at least a degree in the next 10 years.

Whether they will or not is a different question entirely, but the potential is certainly there.

 

[Billy Rocket]

Maybe, considering I write stuff for a living I'd like to think my work is a higher standard than what a computer could come up with.

...that which a computer could come up with.

Me and @Some Random Guy actually do very similar jobs

You say that but many big companies are still running with systems 20+ years out of date. Just getting to 2017 technology will take time

I suppose robots can play snooker badly and watch porn already.

Drum machines have been around for years....but they lack feel
